Ayazma Plajı — Attraction in Bozcaada

A gorgeous beach with fine sand, crystal clear water unfortunately managed by mobsters interested only in taking your umbrella fee and 2 sunbeds worth 300 TL, without offering you minimal comfort. But let's start with the beginning. Today we wanted to visit the island of Bozcaada, having accommodation in Eceabat. We went by ferry Eceabat - Canakkale (155 TL) then we went to the port of Geyikli where we left the car in a parking lot then we took the ferry to the island of Bozcaada (55 TL per person). The ferry ride takes about 30-40 minutes. From the port you can take a minibus to the famous Ayazma beach (30 TL per person) which come quite often. The minibus journey takes about 10-15 minutes. The beach, as mentioned above, is gorgeous, very crowded, turquoise water, fine sand. In the water, the first 15-20 meters deepen smoothly, then it is deeper. What we noticed is that the water was a bit cold for our taste, but we still went in, if we got there. I return to what I said above about the mobsters who manage the beach. The tax for mobsters can also be paid by card. The umbrellas do not provide shade, they are constantly moving and can even hit you, the sunbeds are plastic, many even cracked. So a lot of money is collected without investing anything for the benefit of the customers. Shame about the beach and the beauty...

The sea is perfect and clean, the water is crystal clear, and generally cold, but it's beautiful at the end of July and the beginning of August. There's almost no space for your own umbrella; paid sunbeds are packed tightly all over the beach. It's a 2-kilometer stretch of fine sand and, in my opinion, one of the world's few beaches. Sunbeds and umbrellas are exorbitantly priced, and the showers and restrooms are poorly maintained. There are two or three restaurants along the roadside, and prices are expensive. There's a water sports club at one end of the beach, and the other is the quietest,...

Great large beach. You must get there early. We went during the Kurban Bayram, and we arrived at 11 and still could find enough umbrellas and chairs. I recommend parking on the street and have your car pointed in the direction that you want to leave. Food and drinks are available at the restaurants across the street. You can eat at the restaurant, recommended so you create a bunch of strofoam trash, but you can oder and take it carry to the beach. Just bring your own bag, or plan to buy a reusable bag at the restaurant, they don't sell plastic bags in...
